REFUGEE PROBLEM
SPANISH FRONTIER
CONSULATES JAMMED
LONDON, June 20
Recalling the occasion a year ago when half a million refugees crossed into France at the end of the Spanish War, it is stated by refugees from France reaching Irun, on the Spanish side of the frontier, that thousands of persons are jamming the Spanish Consulates seeking visas to enter Spain.
Refugees who have crossed the frontier include a former Polish Ambassador in Rome and members of Embassies and Consulates of various nations; M. Van Zeeland (a former Belgian Premier and Leader of the Catholic Party), the former Empress Zita of Austria and her son, the Archduke Otto (Pretender to the throne of Austria), and the Grand Duchess of Luxemburg.
